<< review queue entry 50003 >> I have removed the capital letters in the entry. I found that on some versions of this database, the current use of capital letters mean that if you search for 'xiaoqiang' it can't find it, but only if you use 'XiaoQiang'. Clearly that is wrong. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Editor: > I have removed the capital letters in the entry. I have restored them. > if you search for 'xiaoqiang' it can't find it Goodness me! Better fix that search software! > Clearly that is wrong. What's wrong? The fact that you can't find it, or the capital letters? Anyway, Xiǎo Qiáng was originally the name of a cockroach in a Hong Kong movie (hence the capital letters). And now, "Xiao Qiang (Cantonese: Siew Keong) 小强 is used as an affectionate name for cockroach[es in general]" <<Stephen Chow and this [other] guy, WengChong fought each other to see whose fate is the worse among themselves, to get the sympathy from [the beautiful] QiuXiang. WengChong brought a dog and it suddenly died all of a sudden. Stephen Chow is at a loss, but then he spots a cockroach on the floor creeping near the servant, and when she steps on it (the cockroach), Stephen immediately exclaims, “Siew Keong, Siew Keong! How could you die now when I’ve done so much for you to educate you, to bring you up? How could I live seeing my son die earlier than me, your rightful parent!!!" And from then on, "Siew Keong" has become the affectionate name for cockroach in the Chinese Lingo.>> http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20070508111555AAZ7j6e https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QoVyEZTU3W8 And here is a song you can listen to (streaming audio): "Zhang Lang Xiao Qiang" ( "Little Qiang the Cockroach") http://www.4shared.com/mp3/Claa5U0P/Zhang_Lang_Xiao_Qiang___Little.html |
